2011 Nissan GTR
- Thread starter Monster
- Start date
Strange that Clarkson would complain about the ride in the Jag being harsh. Other reviews have said it's comfortable enough, and I'd think the GT-R isn't better in that regard. He's also a minute off his 'Ring time for the Jag (it's under 8 minutes). I think the look on his face while cornering tells us there's more to recommend the Jag than he lets on: the GT-R is more impressive in what it does, but the Jag seems more playful, fun. The snout of the Jag takes some getting used to, but the XKR S retains an underlying elegance, particularly in the interior, that would appeal to a different sort of buyer.

Auto says many facelifts are only esthetic. contrary, the GTR is less aesthetic-facelift (just front-leds...) and a lot of substance. the GTR is always... the GT-R, but all aspects of the car have been really improved!

Any chance you can post some scans just like you did for the Ferrari FF ? Did they publish the full evaluation table (you said quick test only...) ?
